The most affectionate dog youll ever meet. I fostered ladybug on behalf of my family’s changed living circumstances. and it was the best decision Ive ever made. She loves doing anything you do, whether its napping all day, sitting on the porch and enjoying the breeze, going hiking, or laying next to you while you watch TV. Shes an absolute cuddle-bug who will do anything to receive affection or playtime. She loves all sorts of people, especially men, and will loyally stay by your side throughout the day. She has an incredibly tolerant disposition- throughout my 3 years of owning her, she never once growled at me, or any other person, despite how much I try to annoy her. Shes gentle despite her size, and will love you as much as you let her! I cant keep her due to my living situation and it has crushed my soul, im looking for a family who will love and cherish this silly goose as much as I have. Shes about 6-7 years old, and seems to have been a mother at some point. Spayed.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Auburn Hills, MI
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Kali is a sweet girl who has had a tumultuous life. She was found on the streets of Detroit when she was about 5 months old by a family who took her in. Unfortunately, after having more kids they could not give Kali the time and attention she deserved. I adopted her in the winter of 2023 and she is so sweet, loving, and playful. She has been living with cats for the two years I’ve had her and she has not been able to be around them without getting aggressive. For this reason she would do best in a home with no other animals. She has been through training and knows basic commands like sit, place, down, off, and heel. She loves to cuddle on the couch with you and get as close to you as possible. She loves her people very much and is protective of her house. A house with a fenced yard would be best because she loves to run around and explore. She would love to meet you!

Story
💛 Meet Lieutenant Dan AKA Dan the Man! 💛 This big teddy bear is basically a 60-pound marshmallow wrapped in velvet! Lieutenant Dan is proof that the biggest hearts come in the strongest packages. He's mastered the art of being a proper gentleman — crate trained, walks like a dream on leash (impressive for such a sturdy boy!), and has the calmest, sweetest energy you could ask for. Let's talk about those looks... absolute dreamboat status! But his personality? Even better. This perfect house hippo loves a good toy session now and then, but he's not about that chaos life. He's gentle, careful, and when he rests his big paws on you, it's the softest "hello, I love you" you'll ever feel. Dan gets a little nervous around loud sounds and worries when he thinks he might be in trouble (his past wasn't the kindest), but his heart is pure sunshine. All he wants is to love you, make you proud, and soak up all the snuggles. He's still learning his commands and working on some house manners, but with a patient human and a cozy home, this good boy will absolutely flourish! The highlights: ✨ Friendly vibes with other pups in the home — SLOW INTROS and submissive dogs may be best ✨ Unknown with cats (he's never met one!) ✨ Wonderful with kids! ✨ Champion cuddler and professional people-pleaser Lieutenant Dan is ready to be someone's loyal shadow and lifetime best friend. Could that someone be you? 💛 https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Story
Meet Grace!!! Grace to us when she was found as a stray in Detroit and sadly no one came for her. Her finder stepped up to foster her and the rest is history!!! We estimate Grace to be 6-7 months old. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. Grace has met cats and children while in foster care and has done great with them. She LOVES other dogs and we would really want her to live with another pup, she blossoms when around dogs! Grace is working very hard on her potty training and her crate training. She sleeps in the crate through the night and is learning to like the crate more and more each day. Grace has started going to the door when she needs to go outside and with continued consistency we feel she will be 100%potty trained in no time. She is a SUPER smart puppy that is very eager to learn. Grace displays your typical puppy energy and behavior. She loves chewing on toys and bones and definitely will require exercise everyday. If you are looking to add a beautiful and sweet puppy to your family, APPLY TODAY!!!! *Approx. 7 months old *30 lbs. of cuteness *Spayed, UTD on vaccines and microchipped *Dog, Cat & Kid Friendly *Doing great with her crate and potty training *Medium to High Puppy energy Application: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Meet The Muffin Man!!!! Age: 3–5 years Build: Short-stack low rider, 60 lbs. of pure muscle + heart Vibe: Lover boy with charm, sass, and a tiny ego now that his TikTok went viral He’s sweet, he’s silly, he’s a talker — and he’s not afraid to remind you when you’re late for dinner, when he wants attention, or when he just needs you to hurry it up. A home that can appreciate a big personality is non-negotiable. Dog & Home Life • Fostered with two female dogs his size — does AMAZING with them • Could thrive with other pups with slow, proper intros, or as your one-and-only • Potty trained • Crate trained • Lower energy & loves chill time • Hates the cold → will insist on sweaters and coats at all times Health • Heartworm positive — treatment must be completed at our vet in Waterford (transport help available!) • Back leg will never be 100% — he has arthritis and takes daily pain meds for life • Would truly benefit from hydrotherapy, laser therapy, or just the royal TLC he deserves This boy has survived so much and still meets every day with love, attitude, and a goofy spark that wins over everyone he meets. Now he’s just waiting for his perfect match to give him the soft, warm, safe forever he’s earned a hundred times over. Think you might be his home for the holidays?
